Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Yes, it was a paranormal romance about a woman who moves to a new town and meets a stranger who is more than he appears to be... and I remember writing it late at night in secret so no one would see me. I was so scared that someone would read it and make fun of it so I deleted it off of the computer and never went back to it. I hand wrote some of it when I had started and still have the ideas written down. It's several ideas down the line for what I will work on next and I'm really excited to complete it.
What is your writing process?
When I come up with an idea, I write down the main points of the story, what I want to happen, the characters and their descriptions, and then I just sit down and start. I have started outlining more and it keeps the writing more organized, but I mostly just start typing as the story comes.
A lot of the time, I wake up in the middle of the night with an idea for a scene and have to immediately write it down. Then I'll put it together as I get to that point in the story.
For the Brannock series, each story line hit me all at once and now it's just a process to get in all the details.
